    I find that the best ride around here is the one that starts and ends at home, my home that is. In between, any ride is good, except when you get too close to any major cities, and it never too far to go around,,, we don't have Chicago here. Temp are great from mid May to mid October for anything south of Huntsville, (north of Toronto) although sometimes it can get a little cooler at night. North of Huntsville, if you want to be guaranteed warm riding, best plan on July and August. We have flat country, London to Windsor, Farming country, London to Niagara Falls (a must see) and north to Toronto, Owen Sound line. Cottage Country with lakes and streams north of the farming line, to North Bay . Frontier Country north of North Bay. West of Peterbourgh to Ottawa, lots of hills, twists, and turns and a lot less population, and gas stops. Tell us how much time you want to spend here and we'll give you lots of riding routes and things to see. My wife and I can easily spend 2 weeks riding south of the cold line and not get bored. Don't worry about the language issue, we understand almost any foreign tongue, heck we have no problem with Bob, so we do well even with speech impediments. Your money is good at par all over the province, at least for now. We're so poor, we'll take a chance on almost anything. We don't normally make trouble for ourselves or any foreigners, but there are times that we have fun,,, mostly at a foreigners expense, so you can feel quite safe,,,, not just because our jails are filled to the max. Sleeping accommodations are all over the map, normally within a days ride of where you leave in the morning. North of the cold line you might want to plan a little ahead. You can motel or camp, either is available and quite handy. We normally ride until we want to stop and then find a place to sleep. Occasionally we found it difficult to find a vacancy sign, but that's rare. Prices range from $50 for 2 beds to the skys the limit. Plan on $80 for a good night rest, but more in the resort areas. Nice thing is, if you don't like it where you are, mostly an hour or two will get you into completely different territory. The weather is mostly changing, if you don't like what we're having right now, just wait a while, and maybe it'll change for the better. Mostly though, if you're not tied to any planned route you can ride around the bad stuff, if you get my drift. Sights to see: Niagara Falls,,, could be an easy 2 day visit. Queenston, if you're interested in Canada, US history, but also nice country to ride. Part of the Niagara Falls area. CN tower, Toronto and our 'famous' Blue Jays. They haven't won the Stanley Cup for a long time. Walk from one to the other. You may want to spend some time at Canada's Wonderland, north of Toronto, not cheap but it'll take all day. Roller coasters and such. Thousand Islands in the Kingston area is picturesque. Some history there as well. Ottawa, our nations capital. Only an hour to get into, but it seems we can never get anybody out of there. Nice but very time consuming due to traffic. On the whole, we have the best province. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all. We have country, country and more country, and just enough towns and cities to keep you happy. Anything else you want to know???? no problems, short answers are my specialty. And oh, almost forgot, MarCarls' Meet & Greet is on May 28,,,, all day, starts at 12 and finishes at 1, Best happening north of the border. If you can't make it for that, guess we'll have to plan for another. Shucks I hate that!!!!!:happy65:

    Unless there is paint on the windshield,, then that would be different, but not necessary.

    It's small because it's wearing out,,,, it's been all over the world already and they are getting the leftovers.

    Dead wrong in my case,,, last thing I'll do is watch sports,,,, but I still LOVE ice-cream, no matter what the experts say.
  7. Marcarl
    Have fun, there is nothing more satisfying than building your own, go for it,,,, sounds like your missus would support you in it all as well.

    GooGone for the tape residue, or just plain peanut butter or margarine. The windshield is most likely toast, but you can try a plastic cleaner and then use an aluminum cleaner wax to fix it for now. The other thing that works for a while is called Stripper Juice, but it's only temporary. There are kits available for clearing the fog off your headlight lenses, not sure how good that would work. The aluminum cover have a clear coat on them, so you'll have to strip the clear coat off and the polish them. After that you can clearcoat them again, but my experience is that it only lasts a couple of seasons and then you have to do it again. 1st picture, cover were done 2 years ago 2nd picture, just newly polished, but not clear coated.

    New Play Toy

    Marcarl replied to Condor's topic in Watering Hole

    Went out shopping for my second oldest daughter when she needed wheels. Found a Saab 2L turbo. She wanted it!!! A little sign pasted on the dashboard read: Sit Down, Shut Up, And Hang on. She didn't get it!!!!!!! I mean the Saab, she got a VW instead. Later I bought a 2L natural, and she said it was plenty fast,,,, but she even wonders today, how fast that turbo would have been.

    And don't forget to PUMP the forks to get all the air out of the bottom.
  11. Marcarl

    Them dar pygmies can't make it across dee border,,, we have border patrol wit snifter dogs. I'd known I was save when we arrived at dee border,'cause they only very nearly stopped us, just for a second. 'coase then it might have beens that what we told that littler fellow dat we was at BIG TOMS for pitza, that made 'im wave uuus on,,, 'e was afried of them there afterburners. And I didn't realize Swifty that you was missing any parts, but if you can take some pictures and post them,,,, next time I might remember.

    Looks like something I would be interested in having in my tool box. Was out to Harbor Freight and Pep Boys last week and came home empty handed, was feeling sorry for myself that I couldn't find anything useful to add to my tool box, but now this tool might come in handy sometime. So if you're looking for someone to share with,,,, I'll be shareable.

    There's no such thing as a stupid question, but a question without pictures often get stupid answers, so try to post pictures when you ask questions and the answers will be forth coming,,,,, it's just the way we are, we can't help it. So ask away and we all learn!

    Moving the front exhaust makes things easier, but in the times I've done this job, it never moved, so can be done with it in place. Also, when you put the stator cover back on, be sure to have the shifter linkage in the up position behind the cover,, it really would like to be in the down position, but then the cover won't slide on and you have to use a hammer to get it in place and the shifter won't work. Opps,, just noticed that this would be a 2nd gen,,,, not too familiar with those, so forget what I said. Now I'm glad Squidely lives in Texas, he can only get at me with words.

    You might want to cut the nut off with a Dremel tool, and then things should come apart to be fixed right,,,,,,maybe???? I don't have a Honda, but that's what I can conjure up in my mind.
  18. Marcarl
    I noticed that somebody finally made up the bed,,,, how long did you have to train her to get that done? Other than that, some nice pictures of a bedroom,,,, no wonder somebody would mistakenly want to sleep there.
  19. Marcarl
    This time they are correct. There is not a lot of play allowed in the bearings and normally they need to totally seat themselves, which happens under riding conditions. The difference isn't much, but enough to make a difference.
  20. Marcarl
    Nope, is the simple answer. First, once you remove a bearing and race you will change the alignment, and it will give more problems than you want to imagine, second, the bearings themselves have flat spots in them as well now, so they will rotate to the best seating place in the race and you have more problems. Take them out and replace, and you'll not have to worry about them again.

    Pretty soon we'll have to register our shoes,, or go barefoot.
  22. Marcarl
    Most of them have 2 wheels,,,'course that would make them be bikes,,,, some have trailers attached,,,, that's just to slow them down so that the others can keep up, some made it home and then some others may not have been so lucky,, there are farings suited for the mature individual, and then some without for the more hardy type. Some have nicer colors than some others, but that is in the eyes of the beholder,,,,, actually a pretty nice picture.

    I know I must have that effect on a lot of women,,, guess they either don't have enough dough or the courage to offer to wine and dine me. Ya, that's got to be it!
  24. Marcarl
